+ \qmlclass SignalSpy SignalSpy
+ \brief The SignalSpy item enables introspection of signal emission.
+ \since 4.8
+ \ingroup qtest::qml
+
+ In the following example, a SignalSpy is installed to watch the
+ "clicked" signal on a user-defined Button element. When the signal
+ is emitted, the \l count property on the spy will be increased.
+
+ \code
+ Button {
+ id: button
+ SignalSpy {
+ id: spy
+ target: button
+ signalName: "clicked"
+ }
+ TestCase {
+ name: "ButtonClick"
+ function test_click() {
+ compare(spy.count, 0)
+ button.clicked();
+ compare(spy.count, 1)
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ The above style of test is suitable for signals that are emitted
+ synchronously. For asynchronous signals, the wait() method can be
+ used to block the test until the signal occurs (or a timeout expires).
+
+ \sa TestCase
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \qmlproperty object SignalSpy::target
+
+ This property defines the target object that will be used to
+ listen for emissions of the \l signalName signal.
+
+ \sa signalName, count
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \qmlproperty string SignalSpy::signalName
+
+ This property defines the name of the signal on \l target to
+ listen for.
+
+ \sa target, count
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \qmlproperty int SignalSpy::count
+
+ This property defines the number of times that \l signalName has
+ been emitted from \l target since the last call to clear().
+
+ \sa target, signalName, clear()
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \qmlmethod SignalSpy::clear()
+
+ Clears \l count to 0.
+
+ \sa count, wait()
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \qmlmethod SignalSpy::wait(timeout = 5000)
+
+ Waits for the signal \l signalName on \l target to be emitted,
+ for up to \a timeout milliseconds. The test case will fail if
+ the signal is not emitted.
+
+ \code
+ SignalSpy {
+ id: spy
+ target: button
+ signalName: "clicked"
+ }
+
+ function test_async_click() {
+ ...
+ // do something that will cause clicked() to be emitted
+ ...
+ spy.wait()
+ compare(spy.count, 1)
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ There are two possible scenarios: the signal has already been
+ emitted when wait() is called, or the signal has not yet been
+ emitted. The wait() function handles the first scenario by immediately
+ returning if the signal has already occurred.
+
+ The clear() method can be used to discard information about signals
+ that have already occurred to synchronize wait() with future signal
+ emissions.
